Sunday's Oregonian contained a:i
article relative to the re-apportlou-nient
of state senatorial district
and intimated that at the next ses
sion of the legislature, such re-apportionment
would be made. Anions
the changes likely was the joint dis
trict (the Fourteenth), which com
prises Clackamas, Columbia and
Multnomah.
The Mist hopes a re-apportion
ment will be made and if it is not
possible to make of Columbia coun
ty a separate senatorial district, it
will be joined with Washington or
Clatsop. The former is now In the
Twenty-fourth District with several
other counties and the latter is
district in itself. The interests of
Clatsop and Columbia
are identical and it might be better
to be joined in a senatorial district.

Such citizenship was not appreciated
because it was obtained too easily.
The Red and I. W. W. movement
throughout the country Is a demon
stration of this fact. Foreigners
should be taught that citizenship in
the I'nited States is a great honor.
It should not be cheapened by the
granting of it to one whose loyalty
to the country is questionable.
MIST SKJX COMMIXICATIONS
The Mist has received an undated
letter postmarked at Timber. The
letter which expressed opinions as to
the game law and its enforcement,
was unsigned. It is a rule from
which we will not vary, that all com
munications for publication must be
signed by the writer. The name
will not be published If the writer
wishes It withheld. We are always
glad to have communications re hi

OTHING is more indicative of the growth and

Another element in this bank's growth is its service
